After hearing what Meng'er said, He became even more furious.
"You unruly girl, actually speaking ill of your master! Someone, drag her away and slap her in the face!"
After dealing with Meng'er, He Shi was still not satisfied and said to He Yinxue, "Our Jiao'er is very generous by allowing you to marry into the Marquis' Mansion. You did such a shameless thing, so you should stick to your duties from now on and not cause trouble. From now on, when you marry into the Marquis' Mansion, Jiao'er will be the mistress, and you, a concubine, will be nothing more than a servant. Jiao'er is right, you'd better put away your foxy ways. If I see you again, I will not let you off easily!"
After saying that, he pulled Shen Lijiao up and was about to leave, but then he remembered something.
"I'll have someone bring a bowl of medicine over later. Just drink it honestly and don't do anything weird again!"
He Yinxue was already angry and ashamed, and she became even more desperate after hearing what He said.
Although she was just staying there temporarily before, her aunt was quite nice to her and gave her things according to the rules for young ladies in the mansion. She could also get a share of what Chen Lijiao had on weekdays. Now they are turning against each other because she and Chen Lijiao will marry into the marquis' mansion in the future. He's aunt will only consider her own daughter and will not consider her at all.
After a while, the nanny beside He brought in a bowl of medicine.
"What is this? I don't want to drink it." He Yinxue was about to refuse.
"Just because I call you Miss, do you really think you're the master?" The nanny's face was filled with disdain. "This is the abortion medicine that the Second Madam ordered. You should have been given the contraceptive soup when you did such a shameful thing that day, but I forgot in my busy schedule. If Madam Fang hadn't reminded our Madam, she wouldn't have remembered. Drinking this bowl of medicine is to prevent you from getting pregnant before the young lady's wedding. If you enter the mansion pregnant, it will bring shame to the Fang and Chen families!"
He Yinxue was still struggling, but two maids came up and grabbed her hands, and another maid brought medicine and poured it into He Yinxue's mouth. Only when the bowl of medicine was empty did the maids let go.
The nanny snorted, asked someone to take the medicine bowl and left.
He Yinxue stared at the group's departing backs, her eyes full of resentment.
Fortunately, my aunt didn't go too far. This was just a bowl of abortion medicine. If this pregnancy fails, she will have a chance to get pregnant with Fang Zhiran's child again after entering the mansion.
Since the Shen family is unkind, then we can't blame He Yinxue for being unjust.
Chen Lijiao was also spoiled since she was a child, and she grew up to have a slow and willful temperament, but her appearance was mediocre. However, since she was staying in the Shen Mansion, she had already developed a delicate and weak temperament. Although her appearance was not as good as Shen Liyue, she was still three points better than Chen Lijiao. Moreover, from Fang Zhiran's physical reaction that day, it could be seen... Fang Zhiran liked her body.
So what if she was a concubine? She, He Yinxue, might be able to compete with Chen Lijiao.
When Shen Liyue heard that Shen Lijiao had a fight with He Yinxue, she just smiled.
Lian Dong clapped his hands happily, "This Miss Jiao has finally vented our anger for us."
Chen Liyue said leisurely: "There will be many more lively events like this in the future."
After saying that, he remembered something.
"Haven't we visited the shop since we took it over?"
"Yes, miss. The last time Bai Shan came, he said that several shopkeepers were looking forward to seeing you." Yuzhou replied.
"Then let's go and take a look."
The weather was nice today, and Shen Liyue could feel that there were many people on the street even while sitting in the carriage.
When getting off the car, Shen Liyue put on a veil hat and went to the jewelry store for a walk.
When the shopkeeper saw the carriage of the Shen Mansion and saw that Shen Liyue was well-dressed, he guessed Shen Liyue's identity and hurried up to greet her.
Chen Liyue waved her hand. She had already checked the account book and there was no major mistake. She came to the shop just to browse around.
So I told the shopkeeper to go and do his work, and I just looked around casually.
"Ah." The shopkeeper replied, "The first floor is full of ordinary jewelry. I'm afraid it won't catch the young lady's eye. If you really want to pick out some good ones, they're all on the second floor."
Chen Liyue nodded and took a look around the first floor. The styles were very new, but the quality was a bit average, so she took Lian Dong and Yu Zhou to the second floor.
As soon as I went upstairs, I saw an acquaintance.
"Yue'er!" Lu Yun was very happy to see Shen Liyue.
Lu Yun hadn't seen Shen Liyue since the hairpin flower banquet that day.
Chen Liyue was also very happy, "How come you have time to come here today? You didn't even tell me in advance. Fortunately I came today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see you!"
Lu Yun is a princess, and because she has not yet married, she rarely has the opportunity to leave the palace. Shen Liyue has not been out these days because of the incident at home, so the two of them naturally have no chance to meet.
"I know you're busy." Lu Yun then asked Chen Liyue in a low voice, "I heard that you broke off the engagement with the Yong'an Marquis Mansion?"
Chen Liyue nodded. This matter was not a secret in the first place. In addition, because He had married into the Yong'an Marquis family, she wanted to announce it to the world that her daughter would soon be a member of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion. Therefore, this matter had already spread in Wangjing City.
Shen Liyue didn't care. After all, no name was mentioned when the engagement was made. Now that the Shen family has a daughter marrying into the Fang family, it doesn't matter to outsiders who it is.
Lu Yun seemed very happy. "I have always felt that the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion is not a good marriage. It's good that I have withdrawn now. You can always find a better one!"
If it were someone else, they might think that marrying into the Yong'an Marquis Mansion would be a great thing. Why is it not a good marriage in Lu Yun's words?
"Has the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion ever offended you?" Shen Liyue was puzzled.
"That's not the case." Lu Yun explained, "I've met Madam Fang twice before, and I didn't think she was someone I could get along with."
"It's just right that you broke off the engagement. I'll introduce you to a good one!"
Chen Liyue wanted to laugh when she heard this, "Don't do that. Marriage is something that should be decided by parents. There's no reason for me to worry about it myself."
"What's the big deal? Do we have to get married blindly like them? It will be too late to regret it later."
Seeing that Shen Liyue looked uninterested, Lu Yun didn’t say anything more.
"Come on, let's take a look at the jewelry. Feel free to pick whatever you like today, and put it on my account!" Shen Liyue spoke to ease the atmosphere.
When Lu Yun heard this, he threw what he had just said out of his mind and asked, "Really?"
"Of course." Shen Liyue smiled, her eyes shining like stars behind the veil.
Lu Yun didn't bother to be polite with Shen Liyue and picked out a full box. Shen Liyue smiled and paid the bill.
It was already noon when Lu Yun finished shopping at the jewelry store, and she was a little hungry.
"I will treat you to lunch at Yuelai Tower today. Your Highness the Princess would like to honor me with your presence?" Chen Liyue invited.
"Is there such a good thing?" Lu Yun smiled, her eyebrows curved. "I'd be honored to refuse it, but would it be too expensive for Miss Shen?"
Shen Liyue smiled secretly. This Lu Yun really wouldn't suffer any loss. She called Lu Yun Her Royal Highness Princess, and Lu Yun replied to her, "Miss Shen."
